NETEX HRM is a cloud HCM suite for organisations of 50 to 50,000 employees. 16 modular apps. 11 country packs delivered as data — not custom code. AI Copilot in every screen. Open foundation, no vendor lock-in.
Every page on the website should reinforce these — they are the answer to "why NETEX HRM and not the alternatives".
EPF, ETF, APIT, gratuity, WPS, POSH, Emiratization, BIDA — these aren't bolt-ons. They ship in the box as first-class data records.
Position management with vacant seats and budget, full continuous performance, regression-based pay equity audit, single visual approval matrix, 42+ pre-built dashboards.
Built on Odoo 19 Community. Source-visible. Standard PostgreSQL. If you ever leave, your data is yours and it's portable.
Copilot is present across all 16 apps with five role-aware personas, action capability, multi-step confirmation gates, PII redaction, and EU AI Act readiness.
GDPR, Sri Lanka PDPA, Singapore PDPA, India DPDP, UAE Federal Data Law. DSAR workflow, right to erasure, consent management, k-anonymity on surveys — in MVP, not as enterprise upcharges.
Start where you are. Grow without re-platforming. Edition upgrades are a scheduled data-copy job — not a re-implementation.
"Set up in a weekend."
"Depth across borders."
"Workday-grade, fair pricing."
Pre-boarding, onboarding, probation, transfers, promotions, resignation, retirement, termination, clearance, final settlement — every stage feeds into the unified core.

Where employees speak up. Grievance (named or anonymous), pulse surveys, recognition, wellness, EAP — confidential by design.

16 apps across six pillars. Six Core HR apps (Home, People, Time, Lifecycle, Docs, Admin) are included in every tenant — you cannot un-bundle them. Ten add-on apps (Hire, Develop, Pay, Rewards, Voice, Cases, Travel, Assets, Compliance, Insights) are available bundled by edition or à-la-carte per-user-per-month. Pay is included as a default add-on from Starter.
Statutory rules as data records: tax slabs, social-security contributions, gratuity formulas, statutory leaves, statutory reports, bank file formats, and local labour-law guards (e.g., LK Termination Act 1971, IN POSH IC, UAE WPS, LK Maternity 84-day). Adding a new country takes about 4 engineer-weeks after MVP because rules are data, not code.
Yes — 14 days, no credit card required, Starter edition. Self-serve cancellation from your account portal. No cancellation fee on monthly plans; annual plans terminate at the end of the billing period. Talk to sales for tailored Professional and Enterprise quotes.
Starter: self-serve, set up in a weekend. Professional: 4–8 weeks with an onboarding manager. Enterprise: 3–6 months with a dedicated implementation partner. Data migration assistance included for Professional and Enterprise (we've helped from Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Darwinbox, Zoho, Keka, BambooHR, ADP, custom Excel).
Default region per tenant — LK tenants in Singapore, IN tenants in India, AE tenants in UAE, EU tenants in EU. Enterprise tenants can specify region at contract time. Customer-Managed Encryption Keys (CMK) are available in Enterprise edition — you hold the cryptographic root.
Both. It answers grounded in your tenant data and the help knowledge base, and it can take actions — apply leave, draft letters, run reports, find employees by criteria, summarise records. Every action that modifies data goes through a multi-step confirmation gate with a plain-English preview. Terminations, salary changes, and disciplinary outcomes cannot auto-execute — they open for review only (EU AI Act requirement).
Yes — full data export at any time in standard formats (CSV, JSON, SQL dump for Enterprise tenants). Your data is yours. No fee to export. Built on Odoo 19 Community with standard PostgreSQL — no proprietary database to migrate out of.
Yes — RESTful API with OpenAPI 3.1 spec, OAuth 2.0, webhooks, developer API keys per tenant. Rate limits per edition tier. Mobile is a Progressive Web App installable on iOS and Android with biometric login (FaceID/TouchID), offline operation queue, and push notifications via Firebase. Native iOS/Android apps are on the Phase 2 roadmap.
Yes — a scheduled data-copy job migrates a shared-schema tenant to a dedicated-DB Enterprise tenant when you upgrade. You don't re-implement. Settings, configurations, audit log, and historical data move with you.
